Come work with our animals and help them find good permanent homes in Houston! To begin volunteering at BARC, you'll need to come to our next Volunteer Orientation. We'll show you our animal shelter and facilites as well as discuss the various volunteer opportunities that are available. Orientations are held on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of every month at 10am in the BARC Classroom. To reach the BARC Classroom, use the 2700 Evella Street entrance and the guard will direct you to the Classroom. If you are under 18 years of age, please bring your parent or guardian with you. Everyone should wear closed-toed shoes and long pants when working with the animals. We look forward to seeing you at BARC soon!

Mission Statement
Our mission is to promote humane animal care and protect public health and safety in the City of Houston, including shelter, pet placement, ownership, education, and enforcement. Critical to our mission is excellence in everything we do
Description
BARC is the City of Houston's Animal Shelter and Adoption Facility. BARC is the only city shelter in Houston required by law to accept every animal that comes through our doors regardless of breed, temperament, health conditions, and circumstance (from owner surrender, stray pickup, rescued or confiscated animals). We have built a best-in-class team that stewards our mission of professionalism, responsibility, compassion, commitment, integrity, and accountability
BARC is dedicated to pet adoption and a live release initiative. In addition to sheltering and providing veterinary care to all animals brought to the shelter, we work diligently to place these animals in new homes. We collaborate and coordinate with our Houston Pet Rescue groups and through social media networks to cast the widest possible adoption net. We also provide intensive neo-natal and adult pet fostering programs, along with hands-on volunteer training classes and continuous workshops.
We are committed to promoting responsible pet ownership through spaying/neutering, microchipping, vaccinations, and training class services. Campaigns and programs to educate and raise community awareness about these services are ongoing.
